Eerie and Romantic Photos of the Sea Shot in the Dead of Night

For Moonlighting, London-based photographer Paul Thompson ventures out to the coast in the dead of night, escaping all the light and noise of the city for a few hours of darkness set aglow by the rhythms of the sea.

Thompson is drawn to the seaside in part because it brings back memories of a childhood spent on the coast. He seeks out terrain that is both familiar and mysterious, spaces that metamorphose at night from the commonplace into the preternatural. Though he knows the landscape and can often see boats on the horizon, Thompson’s nights at sea bring with them an eerie sense of isolation. “Your eyes and ears play tricks on you,” he says. Since he works on film, it’s only hours later in development that the true nature of the elusive night reveals itself.

A linke to the artist's website:

I immediately choose these photos to upload them here when I saw them in Feature Shoot.And then I thought why I was interested on these photos? Maybe because I can see the road. Where does the road goes? To the horizon. What is over there? Nothing. So, what is after the nothing, after the horizon? In these photos artist directing us to the specific point in the photos. Some light some goal in a very far away. But what we see at the background is almost the same thing whit what we can see at front. It is telling us that the path in the goal itself. There is nothing in the end.
